Hippakontistai are very cheap and fast moving, you can recruit them almost everywhere from 1 level MIC. Nope, they are not "Zee Awesome Charge" cavalry, but they are useful.

Well.... I had a guy do that to me in MP and it didn't work, sure I lost a few guys but that was it.

the whole battle lasted 10mins..... too bad it was our only battle due to connection issue.

The problem with those horse is the fact that they have absolutely NO charge.
The Sweboz don't have a charge either but they are decent hand to hand.
Louges Ecpos (sp) have a decent hand to hand too (although a little less than the Sweboz) BUT they do have a good Charge!
